For many of us, Rita Coolidge's songs are journey back to a time of bell bottoms and transistor radios. You can quench that desire for those `70s sounds tonight at Potawatomi tonight.

Over at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Olivia Gude will talk tonight about her participatory art projects, which emerged from a tradition of mural making in Chicago.

Jim Yanke, a railroad historian and retired conductor, will share first hand stories about the Northwestern Union Railway Company tonight at the Hales Corners Historical Society.

At noon, Ex Fabula Radio takes to the airwaves on WMSE (FM 91.7) to share stories recorded live at Ex Fabula events. You can stream the show from here.

And a little something to get you in the mood for Rita.
